I have envy. I'm only one year into my second home with a gas range and I'm over it. It has excellent control (compared to traditional electric), however I find the rest of it frustrating. Any grease splatter and I'm removing and cleaning grates, surfaces, and caps. There are burners that are slower to light than others, so I'm regularly fiddling with cleaning out the orifices.
I'll consider moving to induction after I get my electrical panel upgraded.
- illegalsmile 4y agoI remodeled my house and put in a gas line but also upgraded the electrical to the stove outlet so it would take any modern range. I went with gas because induction was relatively new, relatively expensive and I had never used it. Then youtubers started using induction hot plates, then my neighbors bought an induction stove and I was sold. You mentioned the biggest downside for me and that's the cleaning aspect with the grates. My grates are some sort of rugged cast steel so they tear up my scrubby pads, they don't fit in my sink well and all it takes is a couple days of cooking to create a mess on all surfaces of the range. Just this morning I was making tea, looking at the stove and thinking to myself "gdi I have to clean this thing again." Even when I stay on top of it the ease of cleaning is nothing like wiping down a flat glass surface.
